| Abstract | Anyone who was intrigued by their first exposure to Taoism or Buddhism in a world religions high school class will immediately be drawn into this story. The exploration of Falun Gong's place in the religious pantheon of Chinese history is a fascinating one, and the probing of the movement's apparent contradictions is presented judiciously. . . . {The book} ends rather abruptly, almost as if a concluding chapter got chopped off. While readers may be left with the impression that the parts here are greater than the whole, the work is nonetheless a necessary inquiry into a force which may yet shake loose the foundations of the most populated country on the planet.
